I am currently a teacher & behavior therapist full time and not looking to add more than my current clients at this time. My past professional experience is broad and diverse. I have served in many positions working with people of all ages and ability levels. I was a Special Education Teacher for 2 years with students in grades K-2 with Multiple Disabilities in a self-contained program. I was an Infant Room Teacher for 6 months, for a full-day care for infants ages 6 weeks-1 year. I was a Substitute Teacher for 2 years, for an early childhood through post-high school transition program. I was a Camp Employee for 5+ years, for grade K-adult campers of all ability levels. I was a Caregiver for 2 years with children & adults as needed by families. I enjoy getting to know people and serving them as best I can and figuring out what their interests and strengths are and how to best meet their needs. I am very flexible in my activities and comfortable with any range of physical needs. I'm happy to assist with life skills, mobility, feeding, and personal care needs. I enjoy being outdoors and in the community. My hours and availability may be negotiable upon request. I look forward to working with you.
